jbooker82 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 You can look at the intake ports behind the reed vavles. These are just pictures of the intake ports. Where you get the power from is work done to the exhaust and transfer ports. You jugs could look like they are ported by the intake ports but it could aslo be some body doing there home made clean up port job. Look at the transfer ports in the sides of the cylinders. See if they look like cast aluminum or if somebody has been in there with some porting tools. Ported Stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It isnt real easy to tell what kind of port job you will have. Weather it is a woods, mx, dune, drag, or what ever. The differences between different port jobs can be just a few mm's in port hight. (distance from the top of the jug to the top of the port) You would really need a builder to look them over and use a degree wheel to see what kind of port job you had. Other wise just look for grinder marks instad of the rought cast aluminum of the stock cylinders. That will let you know if you have a port job or not. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
